But there were their lives together and built 11 00:02:21,24 --> 00:02:27,11 a city. The spirit of its people was the family who favored. 12 00:02:43,29 --> 00:02:49,42 The building was who you had shellfish see for was beautiful standing there and I 13 00:02:49,43 --> 00:02:56,43 had this past week to let except for.

My family of the church family they were involved 18 00:03:22,09 --> 00:03:25,14 with the huge lamp which has just been from 19 00:03:25,15 --> 00:03:28,87 a trip through the one of their lies the calmness and gets. 20 00:03:35,75 --> 00:03:39,33 Us we were finally. There was 21 00:03:39,34 --> 00:03:46,24 a typical agrarian community. Eighteen eleven was the first level in the past the 22 00:03:46,25 --> 00:03:50,67 smart men realize that of spite of the run a cat melon attack but rather 23 00:03:50,68 --> 00:03:53,32 a power that rather a horrible because we had 24 00:03:53,33 --> 00:04:00,31 a chat room. Only two years later they started the fire of manufacturing the toy. 25 00:04:10,09 --> 00:04:11,12 It wasn't say 26 00:04:11,45 --> 00:04:15,87 a Boston company that decided to go out and organize mills on the river it was 27 00:04:15,88 --> 00:04:21,82 people that will basically farm those people that know the value of the way and and 28 00:04:21,87 --> 00:04:26,91 how valuable it would be Tom these people were visible in city affairs are visible 29 00:04:26,92 --> 00:04:31,22 in the building churches the public institutions the hospitals it's all 30 00:04:31,23 --> 00:04:36,90 a saying there's. The burden families whether you certainly were entrepreneurs and 31 00:04:36,91 --> 00:04:43,40 for us. Yankee ingenuity vision and driers 32 00:04:43,44 --> 00:04:44,28 transformed 33 00:04:44,29 --> 00:04:48,88 a town of palms and pastures into one of the world's great textile cities in less 34 00:04:48,89 --> 00:04:53,96 than half a century by mid century the opportunity of the moves began to act as 35 00:04:53,97 --> 00:04:59,14 a magnet for inclusion Irish textile workers but the big boom came after the Civil 36 00:04:59,15 --> 00:05:04,30 War for the pent up demand for quote spurring manufacturers towards ever greater 37 00:05:04,31 --> 00:05:11,02 production. In one year alone twenty new mills opened their doors but whose labor 38 00:05:11,03 --> 00:05:16,64 would keep Fall River growing. Sarver was the immigrant city compared to every 39 00:05:16,65 --> 00:05:20,08 other city in the United States it had the greatest percentage of immigrants. 40 00:05:24,82 --> 00:05:31,47 Oh and meet.

From the problems you Quebec mounted through drove them these 48 00:06:21,93 --> 00:06:24,20 young men didn't know what it was to have 49 00:06:24,21 --> 00:06:30,56 a dying in their pocket some of them had never seen money I mean that 50 00:06:31,43 --> 00:06:32,14 and they got 51 00:06:32,15 --> 00:06:38,55 a job and they get money they got on me thinkin make 52 00:06:38,56 --> 00:06:45,28 a life of their own and many of them have true intentions in mind and want to send 53 00:06:45,29 --> 00:06:51,72 some money to home and I made enough money back. When we 54 00:06:51,73 --> 00:06:56,69 seven down barely heard they used to call that one town we live in Canada. 55 00:06:59,22 --> 00:07:04,94 And there were I tell you about ninety five percent French. In the days when we 56 00:07:04,95 --> 00:07:09,82 were growing up they were called friendship that we cannot I don't think there's 57 00:07:09,83 --> 00:07:11,68 anything that is just about all. 58 00:07:23,07 --> 00:07:29,90 The stuff sausages that have three to five skirts a rare thing and 59 00:07:29,91 --> 00:07:32,81 a sound rather that they all. Serve 60 00:07:32,82 --> 00:07:38,21 a needed immigrants in fact it could not possibly survive without the. Polish 61 00:07:38,62 --> 00:07:44,67 Portuguese Russian Jews Hutaree and Ukrainian Lebanese Greeks 62 00:07:45,58 --> 00:07:49,58 by the early one nine hundred thirty Specter these were thrilled with immigrants 63 00:07:50,32 --> 00:07:54,48 ninety seven percent of the male textile workers and an even higher percentage of 64 00:07:54,49 --> 00:07:56,38 the women workers were foreign born. 65 00:08:03,22 --> 00:08:08,75 And. The largest group that has made an impact far history in the twentieth century 66 00:08:08,76 --> 00:08:13,23 the Portuguese. The reason why most people critical to this was because of the 67 00:08:13,24 --> 00:08:18,19 poverty because they were looking for some opportunity. Or 68 00:08:18,20 --> 00:08:24,10 a very best tourist type of who they close to the circle by their hard work the 69 00:08:24,11 --> 00:08:28,27 determination of those strong family life they were able to make 70 00:08:28,28 --> 00:08:29,43 a name for themselves. 71 00:08:42,72 --> 00:08:49,17 We. Georgian people eventually came to settle in two or three 72 00:08:49,18 --> 00:08:49,94 locations. 73 00:09:57,95 --> 00:10:01,04 A wrong. In the morning. 74 00:10:08,46 --> 00:10:14,59 To. Three hundred. 75 00:10:32,30 --> 00:10:39,16 It's people understand the. Children work in the 76 00:10:39,17 --> 00:10:45,66 mills. Add 77 00:10:46,59 --> 00:10:46,73 to. 78 00:10:57,33 --> 00:10:59,64 Saturated. To have 79 00:10:59,65 --> 00:11:05,93 a drink and drugs. At the 80 00:11:06,62 --> 00:11:10,72 age was registered. Under we've. 81 00:11:14,54 --> 00:11:19,21 Got them first for. First.

So. 87 00:12:49,32 --> 00:12:54,32 I don't think there is any justification for some of the missions that are going 88 00:12:54,83 --> 00:13:01,44 from the people who came here were family better off. At least had the 89 00:13:01,45 --> 00:13:06,96 opportunity at some point.
